At both ends of the route are two of the biggest cities of the Mughals-Agra and Delhi.

Delhi – Jaipur (281 KM – NH48) – This is one of the best highways we have in India. This highway offers you a great variety of places to visit with lots of places to eat.

Guwahati – Tawang (508 KM – Tawang Road and NH13) – This rough and difficult but yet so beautiful drive from Guwahati to Tawang shows you the pristine beauty of the North-East India.

Kolkata – Digha (184 KM) – You can start your journey at an early morning on the Kolkata – Digha Kona Expressway to avoid unnecessary traffic and to reach Digha by noon. The road which was earlier filled with pits and uneven rides is now revamped and offers a smooth and comfortable journey.

Mysore – Valparai (307 KM NH948) – Heading from Mysore in Karnataka to Ooty in Tamil Nadu is quite common, but not many exit Mysore via the Chamunda hills for Ooty via Masinagudi. The incredible ride through Bandipur and Mudumalai wildlife reserves are absolutely breathtaking, with herds of deer grazing not too far from the road, monkeys creating the usual chaos and, if you are lucky, a few elephants ambling in the forest. The really lucky ones spot leopards hanging off tree branches.

Rishikesh – Mana (301 KM NH7) – Mana is the last Indian village and is only three kilometers from Badrinath. Located at an altitude of 3,200 meters. This village is a quaint tiny hamlet situated on the Indo-Tibetan border.

Shimla – Kaza (450 KM NH505) – A road trip to Spiti valley from Shimla to Kaza is thoroughly entertaining and fulfilling. But it is entirely different from the road trip to Lahaul valley, i.e. from Manali to Leh, although people often name them in same vain.

Srinagar – Leh (434 KM) – The 434 KM long Srinagar – Leh Highway is almost like a lifeline in the form of road connectivity between Leh – Ladakh and rest of India via Kashmir Valley. Srinagar – Leh Highway also known as National Highway – 1D (NH – 1D) is the most reliable and one of the only two ways to reach Leh – Ladakh by road, the other one being Manali – Leh Highway
